By the ears because they won't scratch you NEVER EVER pick a rabbit up by the ears. If you do I will guarantee you scratches AND bites because you are HURTING them. And you risk breaking the cartilage in their ears by doing this. You DO grasp the ears and scruff of the neck to control them only. You pick them up with a hand under their hind- quarters to support all of their weight

Horses are like humans, they are "handed" when it comes to picking up leads. Most horses have a lead that is more comfortable for them so they automatically pick up the comfortable lead when asked to canter. If you are going to the right and the horses comfortable lead is the left, then it may pick up the left lead even when asked to pick up the right one. Training and strengthening the weak or less comfortable side can help a horse pick up the correct lead when asked.
